Truth Quotes
-
The governors of the world believe, and have always believed, that virtue can only be taught by teaching falsehood, and that any man who knew the truth would be wicked. I disbelieve this, absolutely and entirely. I believe that love of truth is the basis of all real virtue, and that virtues based upon lies can only do harm.
Bertrand Russell
-

J. G. Holland

The panelists on To Tell The Truth, which is the one that I really knew, they cared about getting it right. They wanted to guess, you know?

Cynthia Nixon

John Buchan
-
Time's glory is to command contending kings,
To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light.
William Shakespeare
-
A belief, however necessary it may be for the preservation of a species, has nothing to do with truth. The falseness of a judgment is not for us necessarily an objection to a judgment. The question is to what extent it is life-promoting, life-preserving, species preserving, perhaps even species cultivating. To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Why do they want to disarm the people? Well, they want to disarm the people on the assumption that we are not responsible enough to be trusted with the means to defend ourselves-regardless of the truth that our Founders thought that this is an essential prerequisite and precondition of liberty.
Alan Keyes

There are dozens of references to God in the Scriptures for every one to the figure of Satan. This reflects a sometimes forgotten theological truth that the devil is by no means God's counterpart. He is a creature, not the Creator.
John Ortberg

Alan Garner
